It seems prayer upsets some people.Please read… When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: 

 Heavenly Father,

We come before you today 

To ask your forgiveness and

To seek your direction and guidance.

We know Your Word says,

“Woe to those who call evil good”

But this is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium

And reversed our values.

We have exploited the poor and

Called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness

And called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn

And called it choice.

We have shot abortionists

And called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline

Our children and called it

Building self esteem.

We have abused power

And called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor’s

Possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air

With profanity andPornography

and called itFreedom of speech and expression.

We have ridiculed the time

Honored values of our

Forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us Oh, God,

And know our hearts today:

Cleanse us from every sin

And set us freeAmen!” 

In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is Pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The Church is now receiving International requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.  Commentator Paul Harvey air this prayer oh his radio program, “The Rest of the Story” and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord’s help, may this prayer sweep over our Nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called “One Nation under God”.   If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything”.This about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. How many people in your address book will not receive this prayer…do you have the guts to pass it on? 

I just did!
